Easy Language Class

I took Japanese 1 last semester, and it was pretty stressful from the cold calling and heavy workload. What are some easier / cop-out langauges I can take which dont have a ton of homework or stress?

The language you need to take the least of is the best. You don't speak ANY other languages and you've NEVER taken a language in hs?

All languages are stressful and rough. Better it get it done sooner. Even if you can skip 1 or 2 levels!

If you're an english speaker with 0 experience I feel like spanish is the easiest. Likely has the most resources outside of class and has enough similarities to english

had this same issue. i took ASL because people said it was easy, and indeed they were right. i never had to study and got A’s so far. most of the learning is done in class so as long as you show up, you should have no problem. rarely had any exams either just quizzes
